The ’s K-9 unit played a role in apprehending three men who were charged with residential burglary Monday night.

Three Aurora men were charged with residential burglary and criminal trespass after officers responded at 10:42 p.m. Monday to an alarm at a home in the 3500 block of Rosecroft Lane, Naperville police said in a news release Wednesday.

A woman and her teenage son were locked in a bedroom inside the home until police arrived. They were unharmed, Naperville police said.
